I live and work in Taiwan and have a few projects in China and like anything the results can be mixed, like Taiwan there have been builders and dealers that have done fantastic and many more have fallen to the side of the road I would expect the same will hold true of China.
I would point out some of the areas were buyers have made mistakes.
1, most of the better dealers send over allot of the parts needed to build the yacht, I know of one that even sends adhesives, this is the result of 2 issues Tax and cost, often times You can get it cheaper in the USA even with the shipping cost and if the part is not to remain in Taiwan there is no tax.
2, most builders ship over the bulk of the wood veneers used on their project.
3 Common parts like washer and dryers are shipped over or installed in the USA.
4 Even thought Engine dealers attend the start up in China it still needs to be redone in the USA for warranty.
5, In both China and Taiwan they have no history in boating so many times part are installed wrong I found a set of filters under a generator we had to remove the generator to replace the filter.
6, Fit and finish
I could go on for hours on the benefits and pitfalls of building in China and Taiwan.
